Top 30 Best Children's schools in Welling

“Piano Week in December 2020 was a wonderful experience. I am a piano/music novice with just over a year experience and as an adult learner, I wanted an experience with first rate teachers in a comfortable environment to gauge where I was and how to move forward. Piano Week exceeded every expectation. I was able to work on a variety of pieces and accomplished several "firsts" - performing in front of others (virtually), composing, improvisation, while also getting wonderful coaching on how to polish a piece, how to start a piece, technical exercises, organizing practice time, etc. I walked away inspired by the quality of the teachers and grateful they were able to connect with a novice player, pick me up where I was and give me some tools to move forward! Wonderful chance to get focused exposure to world class musicians and teachers. I took the class remotely from the comfort of home but the logistics and attention to detail were very professional! Wonderful professional staff, great participants - highly recommended!”

“Ritchie is a very professional entertainer, not only performing magic tricks, but also arranging games. My 5 years old daughter's birthday party was made even more memorable because of Ritchie. Compared with other birthday parties, his arrangement made me feel that my daughter is the protagonist of the whole event. Ritchie has his own mic, even in large venues, we could clearly hear his speeches and performances. Really worth recommending!”

“Smartie Artie was absolutely amazing,I could not have asked for more. He held the attention of nearly 30 children of a variety of ages (1-7) in the midst of an otherwise distracting adults drinks party for two hours. The children were rolling around on the floor giggling and utterly spellbound. Afterwards around 10 different sets of parents remarked to me how good he was. Highly recommended :)”

“My son has been at Abacus for 2 years and has been so well looked after. He loves going to nursery because the staff make him feel so welcome. I love it because they are very receptive to your feedback and child’s needs. Kaylee and Leah have always gone above and beyond to create a connection with my son and we are so grateful they have been part of his early learning journey.”

“We love our swimming lessons with Nic! She has taught my 5 year old since she was 3 and my 3 year old since she was 18 months. The lessons are fun, age-appropriate and progress has been amazing. My daughters have always loved their swimming lessons, they are confident in the water and are learning new skills quickly. We love the small group where the focus can be on the quality of the teaching.”

“High praises, I mean what can I say? My kids love it, the neighbourhood loves it.... I love it!”

“Fantastic nursery! Highly experienced, professional and caring staff and management. Structured sessions designed to develop and support the children emotionally and academically. The curriculum is closely aligned with what the children will learn in Reception so it is great preparation for primary school. Highly recommended!”

“Thomas Jones is an exceptional school with highly dedicated staff. They maintain extremely high standards through providing both support and nurture for children to achieve. The energy and focus of the staff raises the expectations not just of the school but of the whole community.”

“My 3 children and I are attending regularly the club (Almost everyday with all the sessions on offer!!) We only joined a few years ago but we truly feel part of the family. The whole team is wonderful, enthusiastic, friendly. Daniel as the main coach, Ocean as the kicksisters’ instructor (lady only class) and Shakira running the machine are amazing people. The sessions are fun, dynamic, and we are gaining a great standard of the sport. It is truly an honour to have met these people who are representing the true value of Taekwondo”

“I’ve learned in this studio for a year, half of grade four and half of grade five and I have enjoyed every lesson very much. The teachers have taught me a lot and were always there to support me and help me grow. I have accomplished a lot this year and I am very glad I chose to go to this studio. Even though I’ve been in the studio for a short time I have connected with the teachers and students and had a great environment to learn. Really recommend for everyone, beginner or a long term dancer, the studio is very welcoming and helpful!”

“The best ballet school for children and young adults in London!It is run very professionally, all teachers are very knowledgeable and serious about the students’ progress, the level is incredibly high and Natalia Kremen’s personal guidance and support is invaluable . The success rate in gaining places in the top professional schools speaks for itself, but it is also a fantastic place and training for those children who “just” want to dance for fun! Highly recommend.”

“Excellent Ballet school! Miss Narangi, the teacher, is very professional, friendly, supportive and patient. This school has individual approach towards every child. My daughter has been doing fast progress from the first lesson. She loves her ballet classes and is looking forward to her next session. I would highly recommend this ballet school.”

“I can't speak highly enough about Rachel and her team at Spotlight Dance & Theatre School. My girls have been involved with Spotlight since they were young, attending the Friday classes (with some great presentations at the end of the term to see what the kids have learnt and how they are progressing). My girls are now older and attend the Saturday morning classes and they love them. They thrive on the opportunity to perform and look forward to the Musical performances and can't wait for this year's show (having missed out on live performances during the Pandemic). Their confidence has soared from the encouragement from Rachel and her team and to see them up on stage makes us all proud! Well done Spotlight!”

“My daughters love attending Spotlights classes and have grown into confident performers as a result. This year's Annie show was a joy to watch and children clearly enjoyed every moment. I would recommend Spotlights to any parent who wishes their child to develop stage skills.”

“Both my daughters have been to Katey's House in Ham - I can't recommend this nursery highly enough. It's such a wonderful place for the little ones to thrive. It's in a lovely setting with access to lots of green space; the kids learn about all sorts of fascinating things and even grow their own food and bake their own bread every Friday. The staff are both professional and warm with the children and give you every confidence in their level of care. The preparation for "big school" is also excellent - with an adorable graduation ceremony and lots of talking to prepare them for the milestone. In short, so much effort goes into making the children feel loved and happy, and both my daughters have thrived there.”

“My sons have attend the nursery one is shy and the other very lively and not so shy! The nursery has been really good in teaching and using creativity. My son is always bring home drawings and creations and loves seeing them at home. He really loved a counting book that nursery made that he brought home. Really helped with his counting. Staff are friendly and responsive to parents questions.”

“I couldn’t be happier and definitely recommend Fulham Swim School. From toddler to 5 years old, Vasco is now a confident swimmer. Thank you for all the fabulous teachers and staff.”

“The teacher was very experienced and made me love my first lesson!! Useful advices and techniques that made me swimming easier and comfortable. I really recommend it! 121 lessons, the whole swimming pool just for you! It makes the difference.”

“Magic Martin was the entertainer at my son's 7th birthday party and he was fantastic. He kept the children engaged but even the adults were super entertained (and there were some teenage boys there who also loved it!). He was super professional and a pleasure to work with. My son was so happy with his birthday! Thanks Magic Martin!”

“Abacus is a fantastic nursery that I send my 1yr old daughter to. From the moment I first looked around I knew it would be a safe, nurturing and warm environment for her and we have not been disappointed. The staff are so loving and great with all the children, parents are kept up to date with their child’s progress during the day through the Famly App and there are always great activities for the children to do. Vanda and all the Baby Room staff have been fantastic in getting my daughter settled and she is really thriving.”

“My son attends the Lodge nursery. It’s a great little nursery, it’s always clean and the best thing about it is that all the girls who work there are friendly and attentive and my son particularly loves his key worker Chloe! They encourage the development of their soft and social skills which is great to see rather than just a focus on the curriculum which at that young age is equally important. Overall a great place for your little one to grow, makes friends and ultimately have some fun!”

“My daughter has attended pound park for a year and I could not be happier. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and my daughter loves coming to nursery every day. They have been so supportive of my daughters needs and have given her so much help as well as supporting us as a family. They are brilliant at keeping us informed with whats happening in and around nursery and have gone above and beyond to support us with our transition to reception after the summer. We could not have asked for a better nursery. The dedication, enthusiasm and care from the staff has been beyond amazing and the free flow of the nursery has benefited my daughters development greatly. We will be so sad to be moving onto our new school in September and wish we could take all the staff with us.”

“My daughter is 8 and has been attending Adagio for the last 4 years. Mrs Patching is an exceptional teacher as are all her wonderful staff and the level of teaching is to a very high standard. Not only has my daughter excelled in her dancing, her confidence has grown too giving her the erdge to succeed. Adagio is an outstanding dance school giving all the children that attend a chance to make new friends and develop skills that they will take with them through life. I would highly recommend Adagio to anyone.... it truly is a wonderful school :0)”

“Great facilities, and very appropriate for children. My 4.5-year-old is enjoying his swimming lessons a lot, and keeps asking when the next lesson will be. The teachers are patient and are fully aware of the different capabilities of the age groups they are working with. All in all, a fantastic experience, and I look forward to my kid continuing there in terms to come.”

“Mr Marvel (Lee) is quite simply the best children's entertainer on the planet! He just 'gets' children and is an absolute professional at what he does. His shows are high energy, hysterically funny (both for adults and children!) and perfectly suited to the age group in question. He will always go the extra mile, eg sitting with the children whilst they are eating and remembering all their names. He is polite, kind and courteous. He absolutely mesmerised the room at both parties I have booked him for and the children had an amazing time! The best. Would never go anywhere else!”

“My son goes to school there, it's for children with learning difficulties. The teachers are warm and welcoming and he loves it there.”

“We hired the event space upstairs for a child’s birthday. We loved the modern clean space and helpful support from Miriam at the nursery. It worked really well for our medium size party and it was easy to clean at the end.”

“Both my son's have attended Stars In Worcester park from the age of 9 months old. I have always been extremely happy with how the staff nurture my children. Leaving your baby with someone for the first time is always nerve wracking but Stars not only care for the children but are good at supporting us as parents too. Both my children have allergies, which the team at Stars take very seriously and ensure they carry out my wishes and stick to action plans. My children have made good progress here in the warm, fun environment that has been created. My eldest son graduated from Stars in July 2019 and is now thriving at primary school. I believe that Stars laid down good foundations for him in the way of following routines and becoming familiar with numeracy and literacy. He is articulate and confident and I believe that this was developed during his time at nursery. The team are professional with clear practices and procedures. A very happy mum.”

“I had 2 boys attend Donhead from Reception to Year 6. I think they had the best primary education you could ask for. They were loved, cared for, kept active and interested and experienced an extremely well rounded education. Academic standards were rigorous with an extremely strong ethos at its core guiding the boys in a positive and morally purposeful direction.”

“Our son attended nursery here from 14 months old until last month and I can only have words of gratitude for the team. Always very caring with him, keeping us involved, sharing the activities he attended and a detailed journey of his progress. The staff is always approachable and open for conversation. The facilities at both miniMelrose and main Melrose are very clean, tidy and well equipped, and the outdoor space, including the constant use of the local park is just perfect! Will definitely recommend :)”
